Priya Malhotra, a 42-year-old marketing executive...
Priya Malhotra, a 42-year-old marketing executive and mother of two, had experienced significant pelvic organ prolapse following the vaginal births of her children. For the past three years, she struggled with a persistent feeling of pelvic pressure, a visible vaginal bulge, and stress urinary incontinence that made exercise and even laughing uncomfortable. Her symptoms were affecting her intimacy with her husband and her overall quality of life. Her obstetrician-gynaecologist, after a thorough examination, diagnosed her with a cystocele and rectocele. The doctor recommended a vaginoplasty, specifically an anterior and posterior colporrhaphy, to repair the weakened vaginal walls and support her bladder and rectum. Priya was anxious about surgery but proceeded, finding the hospital team supportive. The procedure went smoothly. Her recovery involved six weeks of strict pelvic rest, avoiding heavy lifting. Initially sore, she felt gradual improvement. At her eight-week follow-up, the bulge was gone, and her incontinence had resolved. Emotionally, Priya journeyed from feeling broken and self-conscious to regaining her confidence and physical comfort. She felt like she had her body back and could engage fully in her active life with her family again.
